It is standard procedure in the playing of scales on orchestral string instruments to use a so-called “turn-around” or “loop” at the beginning and end of the scale. An example in G Major would be to play pitches B-A-G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G to begin and the pitches G-F#-E-D-C-B-A-G-B-A-G to end. The adjudicator should make no distinction between students using the “turn-around” and those who do not.
